Only on land? That's pretty limiting.

Not sure, but I'd imagine it would work near land as well (within a few kms), depends on beam width. Which would suit most people of smaller yachts most of the time, not great for the middle of the ocean though, but I believe there are other services for that.

Hmm, I wonder if ice would count as land. Or maybe everything below passenger airplanes does.
